Handmade + Woman Owned

My name is Janelle; mother, herbalist, creator, yoga teacher, and the heart behind the business. I'm so grateful youre here! From the Heart is just that: a collection of intentionally crafted pieces from my heart to yours. I call it a healing collective as every product I make carries healing properties; from medicinal herbs, to crystal energies and meditation, every item is made with hopes of encouraging healing and alignment with your heart.

The Story

It all started back in 2015 when I was in my yoga teacher training about to learn japa meditation; we needed a mala and I didnt have money to buy one, so a friend showed me how she made one for herself. I had never been creative in that way before and it sparked something within, so I kept exploring and taught myself how to knot a traditional mala and even make my own tassels. Eventually that spark led me to start making necklaces and earrings as well. A few years later is when I found herbal medicine and decided to follow the path to becoming an herbalist, which is when the botanical products came to be. For a while I was teaching yoga full time, studying herbalism and making mala beads and jewelry as a creative hobby on the side. Once I became a mom I pivoted from full time teaching and decided to focus on motherhood and building From the Heart into the brand of my dreams! A healing collective of intentionally crafted products to meet you at any point on your own healing journey. Every item truly is created from the heart - I hope you can see and feel that, too. 

Sustainability

Everything is created as sustainably as possible, including avoiding mass production by creating in small batches, working with responsibly sourced materials and ingredients, and reusing shipping/packaging materials and recyclable and reusable bubble mailers for shipping. Even down to the aesthetic, I use a handmade stamp with a refillable pad and non-toxic, water-based ink free of unnecessary junk. I do all of this because I believe it is my duty to follow mindful creative practices and live in alignment with the world around us. Help to continue these practices: Send back any From the Heart packaging (necklace cards, tags, cards, cotton bags) and receive 20% off your next purchase! Simply put whatever you don't want to keep in the same mailer I sent to you, and once I receive the package you will receive the discount code!

Returns/Exchanges/Repairs

I do not accept returns or exchanges at this time, with the exception of damaged items (within reason). While all mala beads and jewelry are made with quality material, I understand things happen and want FTH pieces to last as long as possible so I do offer repairs. Depending on the breakage and how much time has passed since purchase, repairs range from $0 - half the original price.
